The root of the word “technology” is the Greek word tecknos, which means “art.” Technology has been linked to art for centuries. For example, it took almost four years for Leonardo Da Vinci to paint the Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world. Today, it would take a graphic artist using a computer about five minutes to reproduce her. What is your view of the idea that today’s art is technology?

My view of the idea that today's art is technology is that it is going to stay as today's technology and that all technology is going to do is increase.

Why do you need to evaluate websites?

I need to evaluate websites for many reasons. One reason why I need to evaluate websites is because some of the information on the website is false and not true. For example, some of the information on Wikipedia is not true and can be changed by anyone who has access to it. Another reason why I need to evaluate websites is because some of the information on the website has viruses and viruses are not good for your computer. These are a few out of many reasons why I need to evaluate websites.

Who is the person from history that you would most like to meet and talk to? Why? What would you like to ask?

The person I would like to meet and talk to from history is Martin Luther King Jr. I would like to meet and talk to Martin Luther King Jr. because he was apart of the segregation movement and that allowed black people and white people to eat at the same restaurant, use the same bathroom, and etc. Some of the questions I would like to ask him are "Why did you decide to start a segregation movement?" and "Did your dream come true?"

What would you do if all the electricity in the world just stopped?

If all the electricity in the world was to stop, I would not know what to do. I imagine myself being bored all day, because they would be nothing to do. I would either be bored all day, or I foresee myself riding my skateboard down to the store, and staying out until dinner time. If all of the electricity in the world just stopped, these are some of the things I would be doing.

In 1981, U.S. performed a nuclear test at Nevada Test Site. What is your thoughts about a nuclear test occurring in Nevada?

I have several thoughts on a nuclear test occurring in Nevada. My first thought is that it is better to do a nuclear test in an open desert like Nevada. My second thought on a nuclear test in Nevada is good. It's good because it's better to have a place that is open and won't hurt anyone. My last thought on a nuclear test in Nevada is positive. It's positive because why would you do it in a place where it would damage and hurt people and buildings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    8.27.15

What type of computer is better a PC or Mac?

In my opinion, I think a PC is a better type of computer. A PC is a better type of computer because I think it's easier to use than a Mac. I think a PC is better than a Mac because on a PC, you can do almost all of the things you can do on a Mac. A PC is a better type of computer because a PC is cheaper than a Mac.
